Croatia-Turkey, Quarterfinals, EURO 2008 [R]

[JeremyEritrea]

why u guys overreact..he said 'Heart and fightwise, the Turks have the upper hand'....then say 'we plays with heart too'...

Turks plays with heart...
Germans plays with heart...
Italians plays with hearts...
etc...
all football nations plays with heart and soul except england...

btw, in vienna center there are some trouble i think...i don't know very well turkish but canal 24's commentators said that the croats did throw beer bottle, chairs etc...to the turks and the police did estrance the turks from city center...and even a turkish sport writer got attacked by croats...
it will be long day i think because 300.00turks lives there and 150.000 arrived there today, and 150.000croats lives there and 100.000croats arrived today...

Did you mention heart?

Kickoff. This should be a great match.

[JeremyEritrea]

3 minutes in, and it seems pretty even. Give the Croats a slight advantage.

[JeremyEritrea]

Nice try from Hamit Altıntop, goes out for a goal kick.

[JeremyEritrea]

And Croatia wins a corner. Great attempt from Srna.

Still pretty even, and nice wide open game.

[JeremyEritrea]

Very dangerous location for a Turkish free kick.

Just outside the area, at the top of the arc, with Altintop over the ball.

Blocked.

Turkey is missing several players for this game and it shows. The midfield is losing too many balls. I'd say what is expected is a 2-0 win for Croatia, but with the fighting spirit of the Turks you never know.

oh my should be 1-0 croatia

[JeremyEritrea]

Croatia hits the crossbar. That should've been a goal into an empty net.

Wow. Talk about clanging a sure goal......

:eek:


Sooooo close! Olic off the crossbar from point blank range then the rebound is headed wide. Will Croatia regret that miss?

If history goes as it usually does they will. But this is shaping up to be a great battle, eh? :)

At this point it seems like a matter of time for the Croats to score.

[Inklink]

Tuncay gets a yellow, out for semis if Turkey advance.

I hope that i will survive this game without having a heart attack.

Croatia's speed is money in the bank. The Turks are having difficulty keeping up. BUT if you can't finish two quality put aways like they've had in the past few minutes, hmmmm....makes me wonder!

Can someone please shut Tommy S up? Aaaannnnnooooooooying!!!!!! Talk about over over overstating the OBVIOUS!

[glennaldo_sf]

Turkey is actually playing quite well. They haven't had any clear cut chances yet but they're matching Croatia in the midfield battle so far. Only one really close chance so far.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with that guy. I'd rather not understand everything I'm hearing than hear that blowhard talking down to his audience.

[footyfan1]

Did anyone else think that should have been a foul and a penalty on Simunic??
